CONTAINER Filed March 22, 1930 INVENTOR Nom /s 50K OFF l/M QM ATTORNEYPatented June 14, 1932 UNITED STATES MORRIS SUKOFF, OF BROOKLYN,NEW-YORK CONTAINER Application filed March 22, 1930. Serial No. 438,103.

This invention relates to a container.

The object of the invention is the production of a container having acover hinged thereto, and which latter can be maintained in 6 difierentangular positions. The second object of the invention is the productionof a container having a cover hinged thereto, and having frictionalmeans interposed between the body of the container and said cover tomaintain said cover in various angular positions. The third object ofthe invention is the production of a container with a cover hingedthereto and frictional means interposed between the body portion of thecontainer and its cover, spaced from the interior and outer surfaces ofthe container to maintain said cover in different angular positions.

The fourth object of the invention is the production of a container witha cover hinged thereto adapted to contain cigars or other objects andprovided with means to maintain said cover in various inclinedpositions, to display said cigars or other objects contained in thecontainer and spaced from the contents of the container.

In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 represents a perspective view of anexemplification of the improved container with its cover in its openposition; Fig. 2 shows an enlarged section of Fig. l on the line 2, 2;Fig. 3 is a section of Fig. 2 on the line 3, 3 and Fig. 4 indicates asection of Fig. 2 on the line 4, 4.

The container comprises the body portion consisting of the front wall20, the rear wall 21, bottom wall 22 and the side walls 24. A neck isinserted in the said body portion and comprises the front wall 28, therear wall 29 and the side walls 30. The walls 20 and 21 of the bodyportion of the container are respectively fastened to the walls 28 and29 of the neck. The cover of the container comprises the front wall 32,the rear wall 33, the top wall 34 and the side walls 35. The cover ishinged to the body portion of the container in the usual way by means ofthe covering 36 which, at the portion 37 constitutes a hinge. The otherwalls of the body portion of the container and cover are also providedwith a similar covering, not shown.

The cover of the container and the neck and the head 43 with its curvedcrown 44. i

The parallel members 41 form the'guide slot 45 between them. The heads43 of the adjusting links are pivoted to the inner faces of the sidewalls 35 of the cover by means of the eyelets 46. Eyelets 48 extendthrough the side walls 30 of the neck, and the body of said eyelets 48extend through the guide slots 45 of said links with their heads 49bearing against said links. This disposition of the links locates thembetween the side walls as 30 of the neck and the side walls 24 of thebody portion of the container and said links are in frictionalengagement with said side walls 30 of said neck. The links by their 7disposition are protected from injury and the contents of the containeris spaced from said links and also protected from injury. The frictionalengagement of the links 40 with the walls 30, provides a simple meansfor maintaining the cover of the container in different angularpositions to be enabled to display the contents of the container.

It will be noted that the walls 20 and 21 of the body portion of thecontainer are respectively fastened to the walls 28 and 29 of the neckby an adhesive, but preferably no adhesive is used between the sidewalls 24 of the body portion of the container and the side walls 30 ofthe neck. The space between each wall 24 and its adjacent wall 30 isjust sufiicient to enable the head 49 of the eyelet to move therein.

Various modifications may be made in the invention and the presentexemplification is to be taken as illustrative and not limitativethereof.

Having described my invention what I desire to secure by Letters Patentand claim 1s:

1. In a container the combination of a body portion, a neck inserted insaid body portion,

a cover hinged to said body portion, a pair of adjusting linksinterposed between said cover and said body portion, said links havingeach a guide slot formed therein, eyelets connecting the upper ends ofsaid links and said cover, the other end of each link located between awall of the neck and wall of the body portion and in frictionalengagement with the said wall of the neck and eyelets extending fromsaid neck and extending through the guide slots of said links.

2. In a container the combination of a body portion, comprising a frontwall, a rear wall, a bottom wall and side walls, a neck inserted in saidbody portion, said neck comprising a front wall, a rear wall and sidewalls, the front and rear walls of the neck fastened to the front andrear walls of said body portion, the side walls of the neck adjacent tothe side walls of the body portion devoid of fastening means betweenthem, a cover hinged to said body portion, said cover comprising a frontwall, a rear wall, a top wall and side walls, a pair of adjusting linksinterposed between said cover and body portion, said links having theirupper ends respectively pivoted to the side walls of the cover and theother end of each located between a side wall of the body portion of thecontainer and a side wall of the neck, disposed to be in frictionalengagement with the said walls of the neck, each of said links having aguide slot and an eyelet extending through each of the side walls of theneck and the guide slot of the adjacent link.
